[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1445610, member: 14585"] 2 variables needed to develop your equation. 1. you need to assign a $ value to both the small frame 470 lb calf and the 580 lb calf. 2. your cost of feed and how much each cow will go through per year. IF 580 lb calf is worth $150 more than the small frame 470 lb calf ($850 vs $700) THEN what is your cost to carry the little 900 lb cow per year vs your cost to carry the 1300 lb cow? and go from there IF 1300 lb cow cost is $465 per year and 900 lb cow cost is $365 then 465 - 365 = 100 150 - 100 = $50 advantage to 580 lb calf. your mileage WILL vary [/QUOTE]
